The Design and Evaluation of a Text Editing Technique for Stylus-Based Tablets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the design and evaluation of a technique aimed at improving text editing on touchscreen devices that exploit the use of stylus-based gestures. The technique has been designed by choosing the most natural gestures for users, established in a preliminary study. The technique allows the user to interact directly with the text to perform commands such as select, move, copy, delete and paste. We conducted an experiment to compare the gestural editing technique to the classical technique (present on Android devices). Results show an advantage in terms of efficiency for the gestural technique with large font.

متن کاملAn evaluation of stylus-based text entry methods on handheld devices studied in different user mobility states
Effective text entry on handheld devices remains an important user input problem. On a personal digital assistant (PDA), text entry methods traditionally support stylus-based input performed by the user’s dominant hand. In this paper, we present the design of a twohanded software keyboard for a PDAwhich specifically takes advantage of the thumb in the non-dominant hand. We compare our chorded k...

An oral sustained-release floating tablet formulation of metformin HCl was designed and developed. Effervescence and swelling properties were attributed on the developed tablets by sodium bicarbonate and HPMC-PEO polymer combination, respectively. Tablet composition was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). Seventeen (17) trial formulations were analyzed according to Box-Behnken desi...
